Palestine is a demand for greater justice throughout the world, according to British academic Salman Sayyid from the University of Leeds, reports Anadolu Agency.
Speaking to Anadolu at the Reorienting Resistance, the fourth Critical Muslim Studies conference in Istanbul, Sayyid emphasised that the event united academics and researchers from around the world.
Sayyid described the purpose of the conference as rethinking the knowledge produced about Islam and Muslims in light of current global circumstances.
Sayyid said that what is happening in Palestine reveals the limits of the ability of Muslims to influence the world and their own governments, and added that having little power to respond raises serious questions about governance and exposes the failure of the liberal international order to serve its purpose for Muslims.
